Three Lines on the Shirt, all Drawn with a Ruler

Last weekend I did my Duke of Edinburgh Silver expedition. I won't go on about it for too long but I'll explain the basics :) On Friday we left school at about 2 and stayed overnight (camping of course) On Saturday we walked 20km, camped overnight, walked 18km on Sunday and 12km on Monday. It was very hard- we went to Exmoor which is really hilly and it was so hot! I didn't think I'd enjoy it but I really did. I'll admit that I absolutely hated those hills but you soon forget the pain and remember the fun :) That sounds so corny, I apologise!

This is our group photo on 'the beacon' on top of the moors somewhere. We had a good group, half boys half girls so we didn't have to look at the map and they didnt have to cook (very stereotypical, sorry!)

This is us three girls, I have to say, not looking our best- no make up, unwashed hair and looking pretty sweaty! I guess that's part of it :/ That's Fran, Me and Bekah in case you were wondering :)


This one's a bit random...We had to carry food/tents/sleeping bag etc. and when you take your bag off it makes you feel like your floating...so yes, I'm demonstrating this in the photo :D


The group on a well-earned break :)


One of the many beautiful views, we walked by the coast for a lot of the way and it was so pretty!

So yes I said I wouldn't go on for too long, I hope that was nice and brief :)

Thanks for reading, I really do appreciate followers and your comments mean a lot :) Bit of a soppy ending, sorry guys!

P.S The title of this post has a bit of a story... I stupidly thought that the football song 'Three lions on the shirt' was 'Three lines on the shirt' so I had that sung to me all weekend. I also asked someone what football team their hat was, when it was England, that's how the song was brought up!

Football and Photos

Ahh I'm such a busy bee at the moment, even though school's finished and exams are over I still manage to have too much to do! I had my last exam yesterday finally! I felt like the only person who wasn't free yet :(

So anyway it was the England v Slovenia football game as you probably already know :P I went to my friend's house to watch the match- we're not really into football but you know, it's the world cup we've got to make something of it! To be honest we weren't really watching it, it was in the background while we talked and took photos!

Thats' our little family photo :) I don't usually like putting people's pictures on here seeing as no one knows about this blog but ahh well, a few won't hurt, hey?

The one above's pretty funny- we put the camera on self timer so we all sat there smiling when Lydia (middle) shouted "Look they've scored!" so we all turned to the TV looking really shocked and confused and then we realised it was half time and they were replaying the goal! Classic photo, I love our bemused faces!

This one's a bit random...like I said I don't really like putting photos of other people on here so I found one that was just of me. It was supposed to be really cool because one eye would be bigger than the other, I guess it didn't really work!

From there I went on to my other friend's house, with the T4 on the beach girls, to practice setting up the tent and just for a general gathering :) That was really good fun, there are some photos but I'll put those up another time. We stayed over in the tent which is amazing! It's a giant teepee that easily fits the 7 if us who are going, plus all of our stuff...ooh I'm excited now :D

Being the busy person that I am, I woke up in the morning and rushed home for a shower so I could go to someone's birthday meal. It was good but a bit awkward because they're not really my group of friends, so I had to keep making small talk...ahh well it was good to see some more people! I went shopping for a bit then had to go DofE food shopping which just wore me out to be honest!

So that leads me nicely on to my last point- I won't be posting for a bit because I have my silver Duke of Edinburgh expedition over the weekend. I'm actually dreading it, we're wallking for 3 days and camping for 3nights in Exmoor. It better not rain! I'm back on Monday so I'll post some pictures if we get any good'uns :)

I hope you're all ok, thanks for reading!
